Career Preparation

What letter grade would you give your school on how well it prepares students for a career in the real world?

We had a lot of different kinds of student teaching opportunities before the standard student teaching began. I was an active member of our chapter of NAEA and went to conferences out of town when I could.

My department's culture was probably different than the school as a whole. The university as a whole was filled with a greek party mentality and a rape culture. I was in the art department which was close knit, partially because we were severely under funded and cast to the side compared to engineering and agriculture.
